Gomphrena Flower Seeds – Long-Blooming Ornamental Garden Variety

Overview

Gomphrena Flower Seeds grow into hardy, sun-loving annuals known for their globe-shaped, clover-like flowers in brilliant colors — pink, purple, red, orange, and white. Often called Globe Amaranth, these blooms are prized for their long life in both the garden and dried arrangements.

Perfect for pollinator gardens, borders, and cutting gardens, Gomphrena thrives in heat and drought conditions, providing color throughout summer and fall. Its tidy, upright habit makes it a beautiful companion to zinnias, marigolds, and celosia.
